Hi,
I seem to recall an interview ( by Stan?) with a former student of the Nakano spy school.
He basically stated that since there wasn't enough time, the only thing O sensei taught was a kick to the private parts ( deemed lethal ). Can't find the article anywhere though

No. Actually, that was my quote of a conversation that Kuroiwa Yoshio had with the former director of the Nakano Spy school. In essence, Kuroiwa was part of an embu that Ueshiba was doing, in the late 50's or early 60's, and he was off to the side and an old man kept mumbling, "Hmmm. So this is aikido? This is aikido? Hmmm." Upon asking the old man who he was, he replied that he was the former head of the school. When asked what Ueshiba taught, he replied that he would just grab people, smash them to the ground and then teach how to kill them quickly.
